20+ Materials. One Machine.

Max thickness

Up to 6"

Typical uses

Structural parts, brackets, frames, custom hardware

Edge quality

Clean edge, light oxide — ready for welding or painting

Most common request; excellent edge quality at any thickness

Max thickness

Up to 4"

Typical uses

Food-grade parts, marine hardware, architectural panels

Edge quality

Smooth, burr-free edge — often no secondary finishing needed

No heat distortion means no discoloration or work hardening

Max thickness

Up to 8"

Typical uses

Aerospace components, enclosures, signs, lightweight frames

Edge quality

Excellent — smooth edge, minimal taper

Cuts fast; ideal for intricate shapes and tight tolerances

Max thickness

Up to 3"

Typical uses

Electrical components, decorative trim, plumbing parts

Edge quality

Clean, precise edge — no burring

Waterjet avoids the work hardening that laser causes on copper

Max thickness

Up to 2"

Typical uses

Aerospace, medical implants, high-performance parts

Edge quality

Excellent — no heat-affected zone, no microstructure change

One of the few processes that cuts titanium cleanly without cracking

Max thickness

Up to 3"

Typical uses

Dies, molds, wear plates, industrial tooling

Edge quality

Good — may require light deburring on thick sections

Cuts hardened material without annealing or re-hardening

Max thickness

Up to 4"

Typical uses

Countertop cutouts, custom tile, architectural inlays

Edge quality

Clean edge — no chipping or cracking

Intricate shapes and curves possible without risk of fracture

Max thickness

Up to 3"

Typical uses

Decorative inlays, medallions, custom tile shapes

Edge quality

Smooth, precise edge — preserves natural veining

Ideal for ornate patterns that would crack under saw cutting

Max thickness

Up to 1.5"

Typical uses

Custom tile shapes, outlet cutouts, decorative borders

Edge quality

Chip-free edge — far cleaner than wet saw

No vibration means zero risk of cracking brittle tile

Max thickness

Up to 2"

Typical uses

Flooring accents, wall panels, custom shapes

Edge quality

Clean edge, natural texture preserved

Handles irregular grain without splitting

Max thickness

Up to 1.5"

Typical uses

Custom mirrors, display cases, architectural glazing

Edge quality

Smooth edge — minimal chipping

Must be annealed (not tempered) — tempered glass shatters

Max thickness

Up to 1"

Typical uses

Safety glazing cutouts, custom shapes

Edge quality

Clean cut through both glass and interlayer

Waterjet is one of the only processes that handles laminated glass cleanly

Max thickness

Up to 1"

Typical uses

Aerospace panels, motorsport parts, structural brackets

Edge quality

Clean edge — no delamination, no fraying

No heat means no resin melt or fiber pullout

Max thickness

Up to 2"

Typical uses

Marine parts, enclosures, industrial panels

Edge quality

Good edge — minimal delamination risk

Wet cutting contains glass dust — safer than dry cutting

Max thickness

Up to 0.75"

Typical uses

Ballistic panels, protective equipment, aerospace

Edge quality

Clean edge — no fraying unlike laser or saw

Waterjet is the preferred process for aramid fiber cutting

Max thickness

Up to 0.5"

Typical uses

Custom PCB shapes, prototype boards

Edge quality

Precise, clean edge — no delamination

No heat means no component damage near cut lines

Max thickness

Up to 4"

Typical uses

Displays, signage, machine guards, custom shapes

Edge quality

Good edge — slight frosting, often polishable

No melting or crazing unlike laser cutting

Max thickness

Up to 4"

Typical uses

Cutting boards, wear pads, marine parts, food-grade components

Edge quality

Clean, smooth edge

Excellent for thick plastic parts that would melt under laser

Max thickness

Up to 3"

Typical uses

Gears, bushings, structural plastic parts

Edge quality

Precise edge — no melting or stress cracking

Tight tolerances achievable on engineering plastics

Max thickness

Up to 6"

Typical uses

Gaskets, packaging inserts, custom pads, seals

Edge quality

Clean, compressed edge — springs back after cutting

Handles soft materials that would tear under mechanical cutting
